TRUSTEE SCHOLARS PROGRAM

The William F. Scandling ’49, LL.D. ’67 Trustee Scholarship for Academic Excellence is awarded to 50-60 students each year and winners are selected by the Admissions Committee.

Trustee Scholar winners are among those invited to campus for Scholar Day, and from that group the full-tuition Hersh and Wood Scholars will be selected. Scholar Day will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2015.

Trustee Scholars are awarded $25,000 annually and the opportunity to compete for additional $5,000 grants in specific academic areas.
